A citizen in the family

The Son is now officially a Swede like the rest of the Sweden (he has only been American so far). He got his Swedish "social security" today, the key to EVERYTHING in Sweden. Swedish "social security" numbers is a combination of your birth date and four "extra" number in the end.

Hopefully this also means that his Swedish passport might be on it's way any month now.

The number combination looks a bit weird - Swedes born abroad gets sort of a "fake" Swedish "social security". Once you move back to Sweden you can claim your "real" number...

This is where I grew up. 8506 km from California. Europe's fourth largest country in size, but tiny in population. Only 9 million of us. Meeting a Swede should probably be considered being unique! A part of my heart will always be here.
